To all whom/1f may] concern.'

Be it known that I, EUGENE H. TAYLOR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hyde Park, county ot' Norfolk, State ot Massachusetts, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Paper-Box Machines, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This improvement relates to paper-box machines and more especially to machines which are used for cutting or scoring the paper stock.

The nature and objects of the invention are fully set toi-th in the following descrip tion taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, and the novel ,teatures thereof are pointed out and clearly defined in the claims at the close of this specification.

In paper-box machines, such for example as scoring and cutting machines, the sheets of paperboard are passed over a Work-support at the front ot the machine, through the scoring or cutting rolls and pass onto a table located at the rear of the scoring or cutting mechanism. The successive sheets which are scored or blanks which are cut pile up on this table at the rear of the scoring or cutting mechanism, and it is desirable that they shall pile up evenly so that they may be in shape to be removed speedily and conveniently by the operator when the table on which they are received is full, or a certain number ot' sheets or blanks have passed through the machine. To facilitate this even piling up oi the blanks or sheets, the table on which they are received should be adjustable so as to accommodate small or large blanks or blanks of any intermediate size, since one scoring or cutting ma chine is used for a large variety ot blanks or sheets. By the employment ot my invention I am enabled to provide a table which may be adjusted or set to receive blanks or sheets of any size and from which, when a certain number ot blanks or sheets have been passed through the machine, the operator may readily remove them.

Tn the d1awings,-Figin'e l is an end elevation of a scoring machine embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof.

The frame of the machine is shown at A, the top portion thereotl in which th-e rolls are journaled is shown at B, vand the worksupport at C.

D, D, are brackets secured to the 'trame A, and serving to support the work-support C.

The scorer is shown at E, and the coperating supporting leeda'oll at F. These parts are of well known construction and will not require a more detailed description.

The work-supporting table is shown at 9. It is provided at its rear edge with an end piece or tail-board 3 which is hinged, as shown at Ll, to the rear edge ol the table 2 so that, when the stock is to be removed trom the table, the piece 3 may be dropped into the position shown by dotted lines 5. This permits the operator to take the stock ott ol'l the table 2 without lifting it over the tail-board For the purpose oi. retaining the board 3 in its uppermost position, as shown by full lines Fig. l, a spring-catch ot usual construction, indicated at (3, may be employed. The said catch is secured in a groove 38 in the edge of the table, and when it is desired to drop the tail-board, it is only necessary to press downwardly the outwardly pros jecting end oit the slviring-cateh. The :forward edge ol the table is recessed as shown by dotted line 30, Fig. 2, forming at each side of the table at the forward end projections 8l and 32 by means of which the iorward end of the table is supported inside the frame ot' the machine. Inside the said end frames et the machine, a suitable ledge or inward project-ion 7 is termed, one on cach of the end iframes, and these projections serve to support the table 2 and to permit it to be slid torwardly or backwardly so that it may be set to project a greater or less distance at the rear of the machine as may be desired to accommodate larger or smaller sheets or blanks. Il desired, instead ot a fixed ledge or projection, two or more 'friction rolls, 8, 8, may he mounted on studs on the inside oit the end :trames and 'the edges et the table will rest on these rolls.

The under side ot' the table is provided with a shallow recessed track S) ot' the curved shape shown in Fig. 2. Two swinging bracket arms 10, one at each side of the machine are provided, the said arms being pivoted at their inner ends to lugs 1l. by means of a vertical pin 12, which passes through the lugs and through bosses 13 and 1st formed on the inner end ol the said bracket arm 10, as will be clear from Fig. 1. The outer o1 tree end ol the arm 10 is provided with a boss 15 having a vertical hole therethrough to accommodate the vertically movable pin 16. A set screw 17 is provided :in the boss by means ot which
